EGYPTIAN MUMMY OF IBIS

Description

Late Period to Ptolemaic Period, Ca. 664 - 30 BC. A mummified ibis, carefully wrapped in layers of linen with traces of resinous coating. The elongated form preserves the body?s outline, with stylised features painted or modelled on the wrappings. Such mummies were dedicated in temples, symbolising devotion and sustaining the cult of the gods. They reflect both ritual piety and the economic scale of animal cults in the later phases of Egyptian religion. Size: 270mm x 120mm; Weight: 720g Provenance: Private UK collection, acquired on the French art market; Ex. VDW Private Collection, Hoofddorp, Netherlands (acquired before 1983). Reviewed by Simone Musso, consultant curator for Egyptian antiquities at the Stibbert Museum, Florence, Italy, member of the Nuri Archaeological Expedition.
